2. Vote on other debates.People can"t help curiosity over who voted on their debates, not all will vote on yours, but it is assured to increase exposure, and thus raise the number of potential votes.However do not agree to any positive vote trading; such cheap tactics undermine you as a debater, and usually gets discovered by the admin.

3. If instigating, use the Apply In Comments rule.This exponentially increases exposure, and assuming you set your first round to be acceptance only, gives you time to pre-write your second round.Of course actually accepting someone is vital. You do not want a reputation for spam.
